Neith or Net was the Egyptian Goddess of war, hunting, creation, and weaving. Her name also may be interpreted as meaning, water. Over time, she personified the primordial waters of creation, was identified as a great mother goddess in this role as a creator, and the deity who wove all of the world and existence into being on her loom. Neith is considered a protector of women and a guardian of marriage. Since she also was goddess of war, and thus had an additional association with death, it was said that she wove the bandages and shrouds worn by the mummified dead as a gift to them.
